I haven’t seen it on any of the big news outlets yet, but National Newswatch is reporting that former Liberal MP Blair Wilson is about to become Canada’s first Green MP.

Admittedly, he won’t sit as a Green MP. And this little bit of history will only last a few days. And getting an MP who no one else wanted in their caucus isn’t a sensational catch. But, still, it’s probably a good move by the Greens – they grab some headlines and (marginally) improve their case for being included in the debates.

As for the election implications – well, here are the ’06 results.

Blair Wilson (Lib) 37.5%
John Weston (CPC) 36.0%
Judith Wilson (NDP) 20.1%
Silvaine Zimmermann (Green) 6.2%
